If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(10)

Durant, Thunder in town

The Bucks will face one of the league’s top scorers when they take on Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Saturday night at the Bradley Center.

The 6-foot-9 Durant, the second overall pick in the 2007 draft, is averaging 25.6 points per game which is fifth in the league behind Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Dirk Nowitzki. He is also averaging 6.6 rebounds in 39.3 minutes – fourth-highest in the league – per game.

“He’s very good,” said Bucks coach Scott Skiles. “He’s so long. He thinks like a scorer. He knows he can shoot. He’s started to become a more rounded player. He can put in on the deck a little bit more and is doing some things. He’s a very good young player.”

Durant had 20 points and 10 rebounds in 44 minutes as the Thunder closed out its home schedule with an 84-81 victory over Charlotte on Friday. The Thunder, which will close the season with road games at Portland and Los Angeles (Clippers), snapped a six-game home losing streak with that victory.

Oklahoma City is also led by point guard Russell Westbrook who, among rookies, is fourth in scoring (15.4), second in assists (5.3), and seventh in rebounding (4.9).

The Bucks defeated the Thunder, 98-87, on Oct. 29 in Oklahoma City. It was the Bucks first victory of the season and it was the Thunder’s debut in Oklahoma City. The Thunder will take a 22-57 record into Saturday’s game.

“They continue to play hard,” said Skiles. “They’ve got good young talent. At least from the outside, they appear to like playing together. No question, they’re moving in the right direction. They’ve got a lot going for them right now…they’re very athletic, good length, and very good speed. They’re just young. That’s all it is, they’re just young.”

The Thunder is fourth in the league in offensive rebounding (12.2 per game) but it also averages a league-high 16.2 turnovers per game.
